COME AS YOU ARE: PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR VIEWING

Picture
​Realtors are important but, when it comes to selling a house, much of the onus remains on your shoulders - this is especially true when it comes to staging. If you want to showcase your home in the best light, you’ll need to work hard to declutter, depersonalize, organize and clean thoroughly or risk turning away potential buyers.

DECLUTTERING AND BEYOND: HOW TO MAKE TIME FOR SELF-CARE WHEN YOU'RE SELF-EMPLOYED

Picture
Strategies
 
Self-care sounds nice, doesn’t it? But before you can indulge, you have to make the time. Here are a few strategies to free up hours at work so you can use them to better yourself:

  • Prioritize your MITs. MITs are “most important tasks.” Identify these, and knock them out early each day. Sending invoices and paying bills are all crucial to your operations. You’ll also want to delegate tasks early in the week or day. According to the American Management Association, this reduces stress and eases your workload.

As the seasons change and the world comes back to life, it’s time to refresh our homes as well. You might be tempted to skip your spring cleaning this year, but decluttering your home can help you declutter your mind.

ARE YOU LOSING MONEY BY NOT HIRING AN ORGANIZER?

Picture

During my time as a professional organizer, I’ve heard people say they don’t want to spend the time or money decluttering their space. This is a valid argument: some people believe they can’t afford a professional organizer, and others have busy lives and seemingly can’t take the time to organize on their own. However, this begs the question: What does it cost you to NOT hire a professional organizer?
 
Let’s start by looking at the obvious:

IS YOUR ORGANIZER YOUR THERAPIST?

Picture

I would never claim to be a therapist (because I’m not), so this blog post has nothing to do with me practicing therapy or even claiming that hiring a professional organizer is a substitute for therapy from an actual licensed therapist. IT IS NOT. I would encourage anyone who’s already in therapy or wants to start therapy for having extreme clutter and disorganization, to please do so. 100%!

I’m not talking about a piece of junk mail or a broken pen (although some people are attached to those as well). I’m talking about items that we’ve kept for years because we just can’t let go of the memories they hold.​

A COMPLETE HOME ORGANIZATION

Picture

A couple reached out to me to declutter & organize their entire home. They’d been dealing with health issues for years, had neglected their home, & felt like they could never catch up. After meeting with them, I came up with a plan, created a "to do list", & got started. After several weeks, we checked off everything on that list. During a few of those weeks, they dealt with the flu & pneumonia but after feeling better, they picked up right where we had left off. They were determined to complete this project to make their cluttered house a comfortable home.
